Its date of execution is unknown. The painting was once attributed to Paul Bril. [1] It is part of the permanent collection of the Louvre in Paris. [2] [3] [1]
The painting depicts a frequent theme in 16th- and 17th-century Flemish painting, explored by Cornelis van Dalem, Pieter Bruegel the Elder, and Lucas van Valckenborch. [2]
The work was acquired by the French state from the monarchy. It was part of the collection of Louis XIV, who acquired it from Eberhard Jabach in 1671. [2] The painting was attributed to Paul Bril in 1824, but is now considered to be the work of de Momper. [2]

Joos de Momper the Younger or Joost de Momper the Younger was a Flemish landscape painter active in Antwerp between the late 16th century and the early 17th century. Brueghel's influence is clearly evident in many of de Momper's paintings. His work is situated at the transition from late 16th-century Mannerism to the greater realism in landscape painting that developed in the early 17th century. He achieved considerable success during his lifetime.

His work was influential in his time and was widely circulated thanks to reproductions by various contemporary engravers.
Frans de Momper was a Flemish landscape painter who, after training in Antwerp, worked for a while in the Dutch Republic. Here he was exposed to the work of Dutch landscape painters such as Jan van Goyen. His later paintings prefigure the imaginative landscapes of Hercules Segers.
